Bush Campaign More Thought Out Than Iraq War
WASHINGTON, DC—Military and political strategists agreed Monday that President Bush’s re-election campaign has been executed with greater precision than the war in Iraq. “Judging from the initial misrepresentation of intelligence data and the ongoing crisis in Najaf, I assumed the president didn’t know his ass from his elbow,” said Col. Dale Henderson, a military advisor during the Reagan Administration. “But on the campaign trail, he’s proven himself a master of long-term planning and unflinching determination. How else can you explain his strength in the polls given this economy?” Henderson said he regrets having characterized Bush’s handling of the war as “incompetent,” now that he knows the president’s mind was simply otherwise occupied.

The economy is doing fantastic!
If Clinton was in office, you guys would be praising it (hypocrites!). 5.4% unemployment. We will never have full employment anyway. That would cause major inflation. Inflation is low, stock market is up, interest rates are low, home ownership way up, the sky is not falling, dogs and cats are living together.
Bush has limited foreign visas for telecom, which is a reversal from the 1996 telecom bill. I bet you guys did not know that!

Clueless sycophant.
